Similar to the first archway comparison, here we have another two photographs in a similar context. In this one, it’s a photo from Eugene Atget called Porte Bandry featured in the Leland Rice Collections. Both photos share the same concept have this great big archway being shown in the middle being portrayed as the centre of attention. In Eugene Atget photo, in arch shows this tunnel to endless road which goes on and on forever nicely tucked away by a tree which covers all of the top part of the arch and seems to lead to a bridge on top of the arched tunnel. Surprisingly there is no subject of people or other objects in the foreground in the photo which is a strange concept to grasp because of so used to seeing people in our life that it seems impossible to have this long path way without a single trace of human being in sight. Which create the idea of maybe this place is a ghost town where Eugene Atget has travelled to capture this imagery of a people-less path, emphasised in this photo.

In Comparison, my photo is really close up shot of the tunnel capturing the detail of the bricks on the wall and all the details on the ground. Unlike Eugene Atget photo, the image captured is an accidently shot which has been taken without even a second through. Rather like, a point and shoot shot. Even though it has been taken this way, it seems to have great focus range, focusing on all of the photo rather than keeping the centre fully focused and slowing blurring outwards to the edge of the photo. Overall,  the two photos are in portrait orientation, allow more to be captured in a single shot than having the top or the bottom cut off whilst being in landscape.
